Though some of what I might deem as support roles here may be a bit of a stretch, on the whole I was pleasantly surprised by how much consideration was given to the RU slot operates here; most players have the tools to avoid total self-sufficiency, and some of the less "stable" picks have a suitable fallback. Tigers pick feels fairly obvious, Diogo is too hot currently to bench, and frankly E-Spirit is likely to OU as it was in the previous Tigres iteration. Putting the burden on Feliburn to shoulder RU is a pretty big jump, but if he can keep his nerves about him and FV offers up some support he could / should do fine. Worst comes to worst, the scooters have an abundance of hella flexible, hella French picks to hold things together. Everyone here's got their fingers crossed to see Shake pull it back, really. TDK and Mael both are solid enough fundamentally to help him get and keep his footing, though if all else fails or he simply feels more comfortable tackling another tier Mael proved himself capable and forward-thinking enough to fill their slot just fine. BIGS took an interesting approach here, pushing forward some BW players in HnC and Windsong to hold it down, the latter of which I would expect to take the spot if only for his most vested interest in the meta (noted for playing the current meta, participated in the Zoroark suspect). Kushalos and the ever-dynamic Mazinger should be fine to keep these two grounded, though as long as he remains interested in playing I have no doubts in Windsong's playing ability. Arifeen looks to be the designated player this time 'round, which is nice to see for all his efforts as of late (including noted contributions to Chillshadow's success in the Snake Draft). While he isn't heavily supported here, Hikari and dodmen both maintain a level of competency in lower tiers on the whole, and their unique outlook on the might help to expand Arifeen's admittedly more narrow scope of building. While it's tough to say for certain with the Wolfpack's NU slot possessing a level of uncertainty (no shade towards Earth, much love), there is a reasonable chance sougazer will be the player of choice here. Their building will perhaps be the most uncertain of the teams here, given it will likely pull from a massive think-tank of players that more flirt with the notion of RU than directly engage with it. Cryonicles is possibly the most inconsistent here, for as much as I respect New Breed, his recent activity on the tour scene has been indicative of severe disinterest, and the team itself is lacking in a full-fledged RUer beyond him to keep things sorted. That said, he has shown himself to be an exceedingly competent player, and with support from the iconic Joel PokeaimMD we might just see prime-time New Breed again. Hogg's strat of stacking yet more players probably too far in to still be playing this game has yielded a pretty interesting pool of players to work with here, thought ultimately I feel he will be quicker to spring Silentverse here than the SPL-green J0ris. SV showed himself to still be capable of bringing in wins w/his Snake Draft showing, in spite of his somewhat same-y builds (which ik will get to him when he reads me still calling that out, i'm very deliberately coaxing you out of your comfort zone here), and hopefully that consistency pans out here. Ruiners put a bit more of a risk out than I think they might've realized drafting a somewhat unsupported Chillshadow, given his reliance on Arifeen for building in his obviously impressive Snake Draft, but in spite of that I do feel confident he will rise to the occasion here. Lastly, Ajna. Should do well as long as he adapts to this meta well enough, BOUFF and Pohjis are both workhorses that should help him out and bounce ideas.
